Old Town & Altbier in Düsseldorf

The longest bar in the world, house breweries, Burgplatz

In Düsseldorf's Old Town the heart of the city beats - packed into the tightest of spaces are more than 260 pubs, bars and house breweries, which is why it is regarded as the "longest bar in the world". Here the dark, top-fermented Altbier flows in brewhouses such as Uerige, Füchschen, Schlüssel and Schumacher, and the Köbesse carry it to the tables in round glasses. Between cobbled lanes, Burgplatz and the Rhine bank, custom, conviviality and nightlife combine into a unique way of life.
